    Hmmm...not a bioscientist, but that's deductive reasoning to answer the question "How did life begin on Earth?" It's possible aliens from the dying inner core of our galaxy's stars once visited the sterile Earth 3.5B years ago, looked around a bit, dumped their bacteria-laden waste and left never to return.

    Obviously that begs the question similar to atheists asking "who made God?" since the question of the origin of life in our galaxy still remains an unanswered question even if it was space alien shit that began life on Earth itself.

    If you'd never mentioned Popper, I might have never looked him up.

    And what came before that?

    We as a species haven't the bio/chemical/mechanical computing power to figure that out, obviously.
    We can only think in time -relative terms.

    But we've been all too good, it seems,
    at making shit up.

    The Koran.
    The Internet.
    I wonder if asking what came before the big bang is even the right question to ask.

    Time did not exist before the big bang. Time requires matter, motion, energy, entropy. None of which existed prior to the expansion of spacetime.

    It is plausible there was no "before" time prior to the inflationary period, therefore it seems like it does not make sense to ask what came before.

    Good point. At this point, there is no way to rule out life was seeded here.

    There is some speculation life on earth came from Mars via meteorites, as Mars was probably hospitable to life 3.5 billion years ago.

    I am open to the possibility we may never know

    Common English lacks words to describe "before time began" resulting in the descriptive problems you mention.

    Related to that is the concept of "Eternal" as opposed to "forever". The latter term is time-related, but eternal is extratemporal.

    Agreed. It's possible life began on Mars and was transported here naturally or unnaturally by unknown forces. Again, despite the complaints of some members, it all goes under the file heading of "UNKNOWN".

    I agree. The limitations of language place us at a disadvantage to even cogently discuss some of the deeper mysteries of physics and cosmology.

    It really all has to be communicated in the language of higher mathematics.

    Agreed....and if that math goes higher than algebra and a little Trig, I'm out.

    Most of my math is formulas such as F = MA, about as high as I go but mostly Time Distance equations and fuel burn per hour or mile.

    I see time merely as a reference for what occurs before and after.
    If there indeed was a big bang, there was a time before the big bang, even if it had no reference with anything we can imagine.
    Was there a great void? Then what came before that?

    How can I have a faith in it? That doesn't even make any sense. I don't know how it happened. But I DO know it had origin(s) on Earth. An origin could be from aliens seeding Earth. That as a valid theory as others.
